The right to security of the person is guaranteed by Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [UN 1948] that reads:

Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.

The Article 12 of this document reads:

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

With the proliferation of computers, the right to privacy of the individual is threatened by the use of information due to the new technology and the Internet. As a result, privacy policies (such as those described in [OECD 1980]) have been adopted in many countries around the world. Other publications assess the impact of technology on the private lives of people (e.g. [Britz 1996]).
